This action sets out to exchange the usual roles and dynamics of the exhibition space by way of a performative proposal: the mediators become artistic objects, the public mediates the experience, while the exhibition becomes the spectator.
In this UN-guided tour, three out-of-work educators from a number of museums will be employed to carry out their job with total freedom for two hours.
This action will take place on three floors of Arts Santa Mònica. To participate, the public must find the information points marked in red where the educators are waiting.

Is there any point to art? Who consumes art? Who ought to? Is art something eternal?
Does our perception of what is and isn’t art change? Should it change? If society changes, shouldn’t art change too?
